How to spot a scam

Many of us receive emails claiming that funds are waiting to be released, often with promises of huge amounts of money. Below is some helpful advice on how to identify scam communications and what to expect from a legitimate company.

Key Warning Signs of a Scam:

  1. Company Searchability: Can the company be easily found with a quick online search? A reputable business should have a strong online presence.

  2. Email Address: Is the email coming from a company domain? Scam emails often use personal or unrelated email addresses instead of an official company email.

  3. Personalization: Is the email addressed specifically to you? Generic greetings like "Dear Customer" are a common sign of a scam.

  4. Location Check: If the company provides an address, does it appear on Google Maps? A legitimate company should have a verified physical location.

  5. Grammar and Tone: Is the message written professionally? Scams often have poor grammar, spelling mistakes, and an unprofessional tone.

  6. False Promises: Does the message make unrealistic promises or claim that something illegal is being offered? Scammers often try to create a sense of urgency or excitement.

  7. High Fees and Unclear Charges: Are there fees that require you to send money or share funds before receiving anything in return? Legitimate companies will have clear, reasonable fees.

  8. Irrelevant Personal Information Requests: Are you being asked to provide personal information that isn’t necessary for claiming assets? Be cautious if a company requests unnecessary details.
